“Are you calling me a busybody?” Bruce snorted. “How can I do nothing when my future son -in-law is in trouble? Besides, you’re the one who broke the rule of a fair fight between him and your son. Aren’t you worried that people might laugh at you?”
The spectators silently nodded in agreement. Flynn was the one who challenged Sebastian to a duel in the first place. According to the rules, no one should interfere in the duel. However, the shameless Bradley had brazenly saved his son and attempted to murder Sebastian.
“I don’t give a damn about those rules! Whoever hurts my son deserves to die!” Bradley was bloodthirsty.
“You won’t lay a hand on him with me around!” Bruce was similarly stubborn. The two fathers teetered on the brink of a fight.
At that moment, the two patriarchs and elders of two other families arrived at the scene and pulled the two men apart. Bradley gladly took the chance to leave, but not before glaring at Sebastian.
The duel ended in a way that was unexpected for many. They had expected Flynn to win, but Flynn was decimated by Sebastian, who had started off playing defense but later broke Flynn’s hand and kicked Flynn away.
The older grandmasters were in awe of Sebastian’s fighting capability.
“Mr. Sanders, thank you for saving me.” Sebastian expressed his gratitude toward Bruce.
Bruce replied, “Don’t mention it. We’re family. But you have to be careful now because Bradley York is a vindictive man who will seek revenge.”
“I will.” Sebastian wasn’t too worried about the threat, especially knowing that he’d complete a transformation and enter the Divine Realm after getting home.
As he was practicing a top-tier dual cultivation method, once he entered the Divine Realm, he would surpass the other divine grandmasters in terms of capability.
He might not be able to win against Bradley, but it would be a close fight.
After the duel, Sebastian went to the bookmaker to claim his reward along with Lana, Harvey, Joseph, and Zia.
Joseph and Zia had placed a bet of one billion dollars as a show of support, even when they were doubtful of Sebastian’s victory.
The bookmaker’s face scrunched up when he saw the group. He was elated when they first placed the bets, thinking they were squandering their money. He never expected Sebastian to beat Flynn with ease, leaving him nearly bankrupt.
The bookmaker paid out 945 million to Sebastian, who had bet 630 million dollars. The Sanders siblings each bet one billion while Joseph and his daughter Zia jointly bet one billion. Those who bet one billion on Sebastian each received a payout of 1.5 billion.
The bookmaker lost nearly 5.5 billion dollars just to Sebastian, the Sanders siblings, and the father-daughter pair. In total, he lost close to ten billion dollars, including the payout to the 20 or so people who bet on Sebastian.
Although the majority of people bet on Flynn, their bets totaled eight billion dollars and were insufficient to cover the payout. In the end, the bookmaker’s losses stood at more than one billion dollars.
Soon, it was time for Sebastian to board the ship, and he bade farewell to Lana. Lana looked reluctant to let him go, to the point that she wanted to leave with him. He stopped her because he didn’t want to place her in danger while he sought revenge back home.
After the ship took off, Lana waved incessantly at Sebastian by the beach as tears streamed down her cheeks.
At the same time, Merlin, Elena, Nelson, and a few others secretly cooked up a plan aboard the ship.
“That guy had his cultivation base destroyed, but he recovered in no time. It’s mind- boggling,” Nelson remarked with a frown.
Merlin stated icily, “Sebastian Wilder is mad talented in cultivation. We need to get rid of him, or we’ll be done for when he gets stronger.”
Nelson nodded knowingly. “You’re right. Let’s kill him again.”
